Do you have zmd running? I'll bet zmd was running a check, to see if new updates were available

Yep, that is an easter egg. It happens at random, as a little present from our developers :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yep, Might have been that it tried to connect, and the link was down. I've had it happen on my laptop when the wireless is slow to connect. A simple restart after the connection gets it going again.

Thanks, Mike. That makes sense to me. Dwain -- Dwain Alford P.O.

The penguins in winter boot splash is selected randomly on some smallish percentage of boots, though I don't recall the exact probability used. During December the probability is raised and you're very likely to see that boot splash screen. As far as I know, the boot splash is unrelated to anything that transpired during previous operation of the system.
